Problems booting UNraid

[siamsquare]

Hi guys and girls,

My server has been running for several years now , not 24/7 and I'm having issues booting as of late. The server starts but doesn't boot Unraid, it just sits there powered-on. I need to switch-off the power supply at the rear and boot it back up again for it to work but each time I have the same problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Do you see anything on the screen?

I have no monitor attached, I also can't log-in

You'll need to attach one to see where it's stopping.

It stops @

end kernel panic - not syncing : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

This is usually a flash drive problem, backup config folder and recreate.

end-of life usb stick? Do I need to change the usb boot drive?

[siamsquare]

Do I just need to create a new flash drive with the Unraid flash creator and replace the config folder?

First try with the same USB drive, just recreate it.

Seems to work again, shut down and restarted several times now with no issues so far.

Thanks for all the help
